Zeiss Ikoflex mirror
An acquaintance in the UK is looking to get a new mirror for a recently purchased Ikoflex TLR. Does anyone know of a source in the UK for such a part? Or a resilvering service perhaps?
Many thanks in advance!

Scientific Mirrors/Vacuum Coatings Ltd will make or re-silver a mirror. Actually Aluminium is used these days and lasts a lot longer.
I usually have a new mirror, but they will also re-silver an old mirror, stripping the silver off first in a Nitric acid bath. Ian |

Hi, I am Ikoflex guy. Thanks for the link. Re mirroring the glass is the plan. Its quite cheap too. As an interim measure I bought some sticky backed acrylic mirrors which are 1mm thick so I stuck two together for added rigidity, cut it to size, popped it in and I am staggered by how well it worked. There is a barely perceptible amount of distortion but as a stop gap it is perfect

That's great to hear Pete. Enjoy the camera. You should get some wonderful images out of it.

Good to know about Rollei films. I used my new (to me) Ikonta folder this weekend with Tri-X, and the red window was no problem at all....as long as the light was good, that is.
Congrats on the Yashicamat. Careful about those TLRs - they can become addicting . Before you know it you'll have five of them.
